Daniel Boone National Forest sandstone and forest

A Slade note does not care what a leftover mountain packet printed last winter. It cares whether the cabin can service debt on rent a lender will actually accept. AirROI Slade, updated 2026-08-08 for August 2025 through July 2026, pins a typical year at $27,486, ADR at $220, occupancy at 37.7 percent, RevPAR at $86,. That is the Slade listing desk. Leave out unverified a separate Gorge year to fill a cell the Slade extract never published this year.

The clerk the driveway actually has is the other half of the note. Unincorporated Slade sits at Powell County Fiscal Court, 525 Washington Street, (606) 663-2834. Wolfe County sits in Campton at (606) 668-3040, clerk (606) 668-3515. City of Stanton is ordinance 22-002 at 98 Court Street. A DSCR lender who treats Stanton’s city CUP as collateral on a Slade parcel is underwriting a story. Ask which hall the survey names before you argue about rate or coverage.

This file is the underwrite, not the brochure, and natural Bridge is a 1926 state park. The Sky Lift has run since 1967, and sky Bridge is forest. Those park hours are visitor traffic, not coverage on the note. If you still need the inventory pinned, start with the.market reportand keep any Slade parcel on the Slade extract. Bring documents a loan officer can actually use. Do not bring a costume trailing twelve.

No Lender Should Accept an Invented Gorge Year

Debt-service coverage on a Slade cabin cannot start at a Gorge year nobody published. AirROI publishes Slade. It also publishes Rogers, Stanton, and Campton as their own cells. There is no blended sandstone ADR to annualize, no Gorge occupancy to haircut, and no Gorge RevPAR to dress as a T12. A broker who still writes a typical Gorge year is inventing the rent roll. A lender who accepts that number is underwriting fiction. Use this parcel’s nights if they exist under a living clerk path. If they do not, underwrite a cabin, not a stay you cannot legally advertise.

Do not midpoint Rogers, Stanton, or Campton into Slade $27,486 either. This cluster will not borrow those cells as this year, and it will not mint a Gorge figure to look conservative. Arch weekends and climbing Saturdays are demand stories. They are not a monthly rent you can drop into a DSCR worksheet.Shoulder seasonis a calendar file, not coverage. Keep the nights you can prove on this parcel, then Keep the gap a lender will have to carry through January, February, and December.

If a packet still quotes a Gorge typical year, send it back. Ask for the source. If the source is Slade $27,486, keep the Keep on Slade. If the source is Rogers or Campton, the cell is wrong for this driveway. If the source is Natural Bridge hours divided by fifty-seven listings, the math is a press release.Buying the cabinon invented rent is how the note and the clerk diverge in year one. The loan officer should refuse that page.

$27,486 Is the Slade Extract

Twenty-seven thousand four hundred eighty-six dollars is the Slade typical year. ADR is $220, and occupancy is 37.7 percent. RevPAR is $86, and the cell is 57 listings. Lead time is 54 days, and average stay is 2.5 nights. Entire-home share is 96.5 percent, and outdoor and unique share is 84.2 percent. Professionally managed is 29.8 percent. Twenty-one point one percent of listings already set thirty-plus nights. Superhost share is 43.9 percent, and year over year is minus 15.0 percent. That is the extract. It is not a promise this deed will print the same year.

Peak-3 is October, November, and April, and peak month is October. Softest revenue is February, and the low stretch is January, February, and December. A DSCR grid that pastes leftover ski months onto this sandstone is lying about the published market year. Guests are 98.6 percent domestic. Origin cities in the extract include Cincinnati and Louisville. Lexington is the third drive. Use those months and those metros as labeled facts. They are not a Gorge T12 you can invent beside the extract.

A lender who wants a number will still ask. Give them this parcel’s ledger if nights were legal under the clerk that matches the driveway. Give them the Slade extract as context, labeled Slade. Give them Rogers, Stanton, or Campton only as those cells, never averaged in. Give them a second-home occupancy plan with no short-term income until the hall says a stay can exist. Do not give them a Gorge year.Powell versus Wolfe clerksis the published market year file. Drive time from Cincinnati does not move a costume year onto a Slade note.

A City CUP Is Not Collateral That Travels

Stanton ordinance 22-002 is city law. Planning and Zoning at 98 Court Street registers stays under 30 consecutive days. The business license is $300 for the first unit and $100 for each additional, and it is not transferable. The conditional use permit comes from the Board of Adjustment, R-1 or R-2 only, reviewed annually. That stack is collateral on a Stanton city lot. It is not collateral on a Slade driveway. A DSCR package that assumes the CUP travels with the sandstone is fiction on this Powell clerk.

Unincorporated Powell still needs a call to 525 Washington Street at (606) 663-2834. This research pass did not find a published county-wide short-term ordinance that matches the city chapter. Leave out unverified transfer rules a county file never published. Wolfe parcels are a different door. Confirm at Campton, (606) 668-3040 or (606) 668-3515, before a lender treats a Sky Bridge forest-road house as a Powell listings. A driveway that cannot take a stay is a cabin loan. It is not a DSCR story you can paper over with Slade $27,486.

Put the question in writing before the rate lock. Will a stay exist for this buyer, this entity, and this occupancy plan after the deed records. If the answer is no, the rent roll is zero until the hall that matches the driveway says a path can print.The rules fileis the clerk path, not a rumor from the city. Ask again after closing if the buyer entity changed. If the clerk cannot name a surviving path, underwrite the first season as a cabin you occupy or leave empty, not as a stay already booked.

DSCR on Fifty-Seven listings and an October Peak

Coverage math on this published market year starts with fifty-seven listings and an October peak, not with a costume T12. A new Slade cabin is not a rounding error you can hide inside that cell. It is another tile in a small hamlet next to a 1926 state park and a forest of named arches. DSCR that assumes easy replacement of a seller’s October nights is ignoring 37.7 percent occupancy, a 2.5-night stay, and a February hole the extract already locked.

Occupancy at 37.7 percent is not a full sandstone calendar you can haircut to 1.25 coverage and call conservative. Twenty-one point one percent of Slade listings already gate thirty-plus nights. Those settings change how a rent roll looks even when the headline year stays $27,486.A thirty-night stayis a different object from an October foliage weekend. Align the occupancy letter with the nights you can legally sell on this clerk. Year over year on the extract is minus 15.0 percent. That is part of the worksheet, not a footnote you drop.

A lender who wants coverage on nights that may not exist is not asking a rate question. They are asking whether the cabin still works as a second home if the clerk says no, the city CUP never applied, or February stays empty. Price October, November, and April as named peaks. Price January, February, and December as the low stretch. Do not tell the officer the Gorge is an open desk. Unincorporated Powell is a confirm-first published market year, and stanton is a city published market year. Wolfe is Campton. Those are different risks and they belong on different lines.

Kentucky Second-Home and DSCR Facts Only

Kentucky lenders still sort cabins into second-home and investment boxes. Those boxes are not Fiscal Court’s boxes on this sandstone. A second-home note expects you to occupy the place for your own weeks. An investment or DSCR note expects rental income, including short-term guests, to help pay the debt. Powell Fiscal Court cares whether a stay can exist on that unincorporated lot. Mixing the occupancy story is how both desks bounce you when they compare files on this published market year. The Campton clerk has the same problem on a Wolfe lot.

This file will not invent a Slade DSCR product, a special Kentucky short-term mortgage, or a Gorge rate sheet. Those pages do not exist in the clerk stack. What exists: second-home occupancy letters, investment-property underwriting, and DSCR worksheets that compare rent to PITIA. None of them create a Gorge year. None of them move Stanton 22-002 onto a Slade driveway. If the occupancy letter says you will use the cabin and the application says you will rent every October weekend, one of those pages is false.

Investment occupancy without a surviving clerk path is vacant occupancy. Price the note as if the first season is owner use or a longer hold, not as if an October Saturday is already yours. A stay under 30 days is the transient-tax object. A longer hold is a different desk. Align the occupancy letter, the insurance binder, and the clerk file before anyone orders an appraisal that assumes nightly rent. One story for the bank, the hall, and the carrier is the only story that survives a call to 525 Washington Street or to Campton.

What Park Hours Do Not Support

Natural Bridge State Resort Park is the dated hook: Kentucky state park 1926, sandstone arch about 78 feet long and 65 feet high, park desk. The Sky Lift at 607 Skylift Drive has operated since 1967, typical season first weekend in April through last Sunday in October, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sky Bridge is forest, about 75 feet long and 23 feet high, Trail 214, Forest Road 245. Those hours are visitor traffic, and they are not host T12. A lender who annualizes park hours as occupancy is reading a tourist calendar as a rent roll.

The same warning applies to the Slade extract itself. $27,486 is a typical year across 57 listings, not this cabin times the lift’s open days.Tourism dataexists so you can quote the park without lying about the note.The arches filekeeps the 1926 walk on the state park and the forest arch on Forest Road 245. Neither page supports a coverage ratio. Neither page replaces a clerk a buyer still has to call after the deed records.

Tax remittance is also not debt service, and kentucky state transient room tax is 1 percent. Powell County overnight tax is 3 percent, and stanton city 3 percent is city only. Those lines are not host revenue and they are not a T12. A loan officer should not need those percents as income on day one. You should, because failing to remit turns legal nights into a tax problem. Compliance is how you keep the nights you already underwrote. Do not add those percents to the rent roll. The note is a different calendar.

Questions a Loan Officer Will Ask

They will ask what the cabin rented last year. If the seller held nights, that ledger is the seller’s, not yours, unless the hall that matches the driveway says a path can print for you. They will ask whether Powell has a published short-term ordinance. This pass did not find one that matches Stanton 22-002. They will ask which clerk the driveway has. Answer with Powell, Wolfe, or Stanton city, not with the Gorge. They will ask whether you will live there, and answer with the life you will lead. They will ask about February. Tell them it is the locked hole on the Slade extract.

They will ask for a market comp, and do not hand them a Gorge year. Hand them Slade $27,486 labeled Slade, and this parcel’s actual nights if any exist. They will ask about taxes, and they will ask about management. Slade’s 29.8 percent professionally managed share is a cell fact, not a rent add-on.Startup costsbelong in the same packet as the occupancy letter.

They will ask what happens if the clerk says no after closing. Tell them you can service the note as a cabin if the path changes or never prints. If you cannot say that, you are not ready to close. The officer is not the clerk. The clerk still has to say yes. A different cell’s year is not Slade collateral and it does not belong in this packet. Rogers, Stanton, and Campton stay labeled as those cells. Do not let the loan officer treat a scrape tag as a CUP.

What to Send Instead of a Costume T12

Bring the Slade facts labeled Slade: $27,486, $220, 37.7 percent, $86,, peak-3 October November April, February the hole. Bring the seller’s clerk status if one exists, plus a written answer from 525 Washington Street, from Campton, or from 98 Court Street. Bring the entity papers, the occupancy letter, and the tax IDs you will use if nights are legal. Bring insurance that names short-term rental on this use. Leave the costume trailing twelve at home. Leave any invented Gorge year in the trash.

Bring a reserve schedule that does not assume twelve named October weekends. Bring a statement of which clerk the driveway has. If the parcel is unincorporated Powell, bring the Fiscal Court answer, not a copied Stanton page. If the parcel is Wolfe, bring the Campton zoning path. If the parcel is city, bring 22-002, the $300 license, and the CUP.How you market the cabinis not a rent roll. Do not staple a tile to the note as income. Do not staple park hours to the note as occupancy.

Do not bring a packet that averages Slade with Rogers or Campton. Do not bring a marketing deck as rent, and do not bring Sky Lift hours as coverage. Fiscal Court sits at 525 Washington Street and answers at (606) 663-2834 if the published market year is unincorporated Powell. Campton answers at (606) 668-3040. The loan officer wants a rent roll that survives closing. Give them that, or give them a cabin they can underwrite as empty. A brochure is not a rent roll, and an invented Gorge year is not a document they should keep.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Gorge year should a DSCR lender put on the rent roll?

There is no published Gorge typical year separate from the Slade extract. AirROI Slade is $27,486 typical year, $220 ADR, 37.7 percent occupancy, $86 RevPAR,. Use this parcel’s legal nights if a clerk path still exists for the buyer. If it does not, underwrite a cabin. Keep Rogers, Stanton, and Campton as separate figures rather than blending them into Slade's number.

Can I use Slade $27,486 as a guaranteed year for this deed?

$27,486 is the Slade cell across 57 listings, not this cabin times October. Peak-3 is October, November, and April, and year over year is minus 15.0 percent. Keep the extract Slade if you show it. A haircut on an invented Gorge desk is still the wrong desk. This deed still needs its own nights. Bring the Slade facts labeled Slade: $27,486, $220, 37.7 percent, $86,, peak-3 October November April, February the hole.

Does Stanton’s CUP travel with a Slade closing?

Ordinance 22-002, the $300 first-unit license, and the Board of Adjustment CUP are City of Stanton law. Unincorporated Slade still needs a call to 525 Washington Street at (606) 663-2834. A Wolfe parcel still needs Campton. This file will not invent transfer rules a county file never published. Leave out unverified transfer rules a county file never published.

How should a lender treat Natural Bridge and Sky Lift hours?

As visitor traffic, not occupancy. The Sky Lift has run since 1967, typical season first weekend in April through last Sunday in October. Do not divide those hours by 57 listings. Do not annualize a Saturday walk as a rent roll. Slade $27,486 remains the listing desk, not the park times a listings count. The Sky Lift at 607 Skylift Drive has operated since 1967, typical season first weekend in April through last Sunday in October, 10 a.m.

Is there a special Kentucky STR or Slade DSCR product?

Not in the clerk stack this file will invent. Kentucky lenders still sort second-home occupancy from investment or DSCR underwriting. Those boxes are not Fiscal Court’s unpublished county path and not Stanton 22-002. None of them create a Gorge year. None of them move a city CUP onto a Slade driveway. One occupancy story must serve the bank, the clerk, and the carrier.

How should DSCR treat fifty-seven listings and an October peak?

A new cabin is not a rounding error inside. Price October, November, and April as named peaks. Price January, February, and December as the low stretch. Do not treat those facts as a full calendar you can haircut to a coverage ratio and call conservative. Occupancy at 37.7 percent is not a full sandstone calendar you can haircut to 1.25 coverage and call conservative.

What will a loan officer ask besides last year’s rent?

Which clerk the driveway has, whether Powell has a published STR ordinance that matches Stanton 22-002 (this pass did not find one), whether you will live there, and how you service the note if the path never prints. They will also ask about February, Kentucky 1 percent state tax, Powell 3 percent county tax, and management. Slade’s 29.8 percent professionally managed share is a cell fact, not extra rent.

What should I send instead of a pro forma T12?

Slade extract facts labeled Slade, the seller’s clerk status in writing, Powell or Wolfe or Stanton city, occupancy letter, entity papers, tax IDs, and insurance that names short-term use. If the parcel is unincorporated Powell, bring the 525 Washington Street answer. If it is Wolfe, bring Campton. Leave any invented Gorge year and any averaged Rogers cell out of the packet.
